Isn't Baygorria another meteorite with a fake provenance?? Basically a cleaned up Campo with a delaminated section protruding after a not-so-careful makeover.? I would just tell him to seek first aid so he doesn't catch the dreaded Lawrencite disease.

I recieved a well prepared letter from a fellow with a question that I can't begin to answer.? Maybe someone on the list has seen this kind of thing before.

He bought a Baygorria (Iron, IAB complex) from a dealer 3 years ago. He picked it up recently to find a metal protrusion sticking out of the thing that was sharp enough to prick his thumb.

Here's a jpg of his scanned photo.

What's happened here?
